Discover Douma, Lebanon, a mountain village full of red-roofed houses, cobblestone paths, and authentic charm. Explore its slow magic, cultural life, and stay at Beit Douma, one of the country’s most welcoming guesthouses.
The Village You’ll Never Forget
Tucked away in the Batroun highlands, far from Beirut’s noise and tourist crowds, lies Douma — a village so peaceful, it echoes.
The homes cling to the mountain with their bright red roofs. Stone-paved paths smell of pine, thyme, and fresh bread. Instead of rushing through, visitors naturally slow down and breathe with the village’s rhythm.
Douma is not only authentic, but also one of the most beautiful places to see in Lebanon.
A Window Into Another Lebanon
Many travelers looking for things to do in Lebanon skip small villages like Douma. However, this is exactly where the country’s real soul lives.
In Douma, you will find:
- Markets selling homemade jams and woven baskets
- Elderly men playing cards in the village square
- Roosters crowing at dawn
- Church bells ringing at noon
It’s not curated for tourists. Instead, it’s the daily rhythm of life — simple, genuine, and deeply human.
